We end the Blog Hop with a cute set, Owl Be There.

My first card for today is a birthday card for my daughter. Guess how old she will be! This set includes individual numbers along with the phrase, so you can make a card for someone who’s one or 101 – or anywhere in between. The owl is stamped in Palette Landscape and cut out with a Labels Nine Nestabilities die. Sponging was done with Palette Toile Pink. The DP is from Basic Grey Sugared paper pad.

My second card is a little more colorful, using Basic Grey’s Green at Heart DP as the background. I love how the frame around this owl coordinates very nicely with the Labels Ten Nestabilities die. I couldn’t resist adding the googlie eyes to my owl. The border punch is from Martha Stewart.

A pair of appropriate salt and pepper shakers from my collection.

Be sure to visit the rest of the team to see what they did with this fun set and comment on each blog. You have one more chance to win one of the stamp sets to be released in August.

I do love how this set fits that particular nestabilities. These cards are great, and again I have to say how much I've enjoyed a peak at your salt and pepper collection. They coordinated perfect with each set every day.

A little about me

My name is Lois, and I've been stamping since 2006. I retired a couple of years ago; and, although I volunteer at my church and a local non-profit, I do spend a great deal of my energies on this exciting hobby. My late husband and I raised three children, and I have eight grandchildren -- from age 9 to 27.
